From the supplier: Social encouragement and physical activity patterns during school breaktimes were analyzed in a sample of children aged 4-6 over a period of two years. Racial and sex differences and their impact on the level of physical activity were assessed. Variations in the recess periods at preschools and elementary schools affected prompts made by teachers for children to become physically active. European-American children were more likely to engage in moderate to strenuous activity than Mexican-Americans. Boys were given more encouragement than girls over time.
